Load Leader to Muzzle - . - Am. enclosing six dollars for. my check given to the: League.. Have been unable to locate it: before: : The Lsague and Leader are headed We don’t care what they grafters, suckers or rubes.. It may - - he some conselation for them and cer-, tainly- will 'do us no harm. Boost for the packing plant and boost for it at home in North Dakota. Cut out the wheat and raise cattle, hogs and corn until .this foul land is fit to raise wheat. ‘Build up the soil. Cut out so. much hired help. Ship every- thing down the Missouri river that can go that way and if you can buy goods cheaper in Chicago than you can at home, buy it there. If you make this. money don’t let anybody tell you where you have got to spend it." Their big towns don’t make the soil produce any more. And we can buy just as cheap in the small one down in this “neck of the woods.” . Load the: Leader to the muzzle; when the smoke clears. away, we’ll help bury the dead.—J. L. Cady.
